There were new agreements signed on the implementation of the United Nations Settlement Plan for Western Sahara. The Council reiterated its determination to hold a free, fair and impartial referendum on self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. It was also pleased with the co-operation of Morocco and the Polisario Front with James A. Baker III, the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General.

In this regard, both parties were called upon to continue their engagement with the United Nations by fully implementing the Settlement Plan. MINURSO's mandate was extended so that it could continue with its voter identification tasks and expanded to include up to nine centres an additional 298 staff.
